Racing chocobo controls?

[Niqote]

one thing i dislike

L1 is to sprint (i like this)
right analog is to move camera (which is lovely)

L1 + right analog zooms me in (which seeing how most area's are hills is a bit buggy with me D: )

if i could change the sprint to R1 that would be nice

I understand your concern completely and would like to see such a change.

Personally I press up and let go of L1 when I need to adjust the camera to see around corners etc during the race, it's a fix for the time being ^^.

There is definitely a performance issue when its prime time, when I race at say 10am in the morning I don't miss any boxes (unless its clearly my own fault because sometimes derp) but at 10pm I can run right though it but receive nothing ^^;;;

If I'm not wrong, some boxes are actually situated between lanes. i.e. You would need to do a lane change in order to snag it. The second last box in Costa Del Sol is one such case.

Can someone confirm?

I think so too *nods*
